Now that the Man in Black's identity has been made plain (well, sort of), some people from the Temple are not too happy about it, especially Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell), who was knocked out by him in the season premiere of Lost. So who came to the island first — the smoke monster or Richard? Carbonell drops a hint. Plus, Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn discuss the possibility of their characters' redemption this season. Is that even available for the real Locke? It could be if he returns to his body, which O'Quinn says is a possibility.

While many Amazing Race contestants wait months — sometimes years — to get selected for the globe-trotting reality series, Big Brother sweethearts Jeff Schroeder, 31, and Jordan Lloyd, 23, only had to wait days. "Just a couple days after Big Brother ended, production came up to us and asked if we were interested in doing Amazing Race," Jordan, who won Big Brother 11 last summer (Jeff won fan favorite), told TVGuide.com. "We didn't hesitate. We were like, 'Yeah, we'll do it!' I don't really travel that much, and I know that I probably would never go to another country by myself, so I knew it would be something fun to do." See what else we can expect from the couple this season, and what it will take for them to do another show. The Amazing Race 16 premieres Sunday at 8/7c.

Queen of Castle, Stana Katic, Reveals Beckett's Softer Side

If Nathan Fillion is Castle's king, Stana Katic is the queen. And in recent weeks, the hit procedural comedy has turned its focus on Katic's character and her back story — mainly, her mother's murder.

See photos of the Castle cast

Katic, who plays Detective Kate Beckett, tells TVGuide.com that she enjoyed getting some resolution — she now knows the killer, but not who hired him —and promises there is more to come.

"It was really a smart way to drop more information but not fully resolving it," Katic says. "I think it is going to be a driving force as we continue to move on. They'll definitely be dealing with it — probably not in the next couple of episodes. But I'm sure before the season's end, we'll get another big bombshell regarding that story line."

More important, Katic says, was the introduction of Beckett's family life...

If Heroes' previous season finales have taught viewers anything, it's that they can expect to see most of the superpowered good guys come together to bring down the villain.

Heroes: Will Lydia's death spell disaster for Samuel?

Robert Knepper, who plays this season's power-hungry, carnival-leading baddie, Samuel, promises more of the same in Monday's Season 4 send-off. But for Samuel, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy.

"Samuel never went up to Hiro [Masi Oka] and Peter [Milo Ventimiglia] and said, 'You're going to work for me.' He made them realize something about themselves that they needed to realize and hopefully they would thank Samuel," Knepper tells TVGuide.com. "There was this manipulative approach that didn't work out how he wanted it to work out. In the end, he's going to say ' ... I'm going to get you back. I'm going to show you my true colors — you're now working for me.' And if they don't, there's going to be a price to pay."

Claire Bennett (Hayden Panettiere) and her father (Jack Coleman) have already gotten a taste of what Samuel's willing to do ...
